[Intro: underwater synth, liquid bass] (bloop-bloop, ah-ah) [Verse 1: flowing melodic rap] Crystal walls and coral gold Everything a heart could hope to hold Warmest waters, nothing here to fear Still I dream of tides that disappear (far away, far away) [Pre-Chorus: ascending harmonies] I press my face against the glass And watch a thousand oceans pass [Chorus: soaring falsetto] I'm swimming in a golden bowl With the deepest ocean in my soul Everything I need is here So why's the open water calling? (oh-oh-oh, calling!) Would I trade this perfect blue For a world that might break me in two? [Drop: melodic 808, vocal scat] (swim-swim, wish-wish!) (ooh-ee-ah, ooh-ee-ah!) [Bridge: intimate, beatless] Maybe freedom tastes like salt Maybe longing is my fault But every wave I cannot ride Leaves another ocean trapped inside [Outro: whispered] The water's warm... So why am I cold?
